+# SUBMISSION BLOCKED: MISSING CRITICAL INPUT
+
+**Status:** ❌ CANNOT PROCEED
+
+**Issue:** The operator message contains no opportunity details or task description.
+
+---
+
+## What I Need to Proceed
+
+To produce an investor-grade business plan, I require:
+
+1. **Opportunity Name** – What venture are we analyzing?
+2. **Problem Statement** – What market gap or customer pain point exists?
+3. **Proposed Solution** – How does this business solve it?
+4. **Target Market** – Who is the customer? (indie authors, B2B SaaS buyers, etc.)
+5. **Initial Thesis** – Why does Crimson Leaf believe this can work?
+
+Additionally, the template references three research data sources that are **missing**:
+- `{biz_data_1}` – Business Model Examples
+- `{biz_data_2}` – Go-to-Market Channel Research
+- `{biz_data_3}` – Risk and Failure Research
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+**Please resubmit with:**
+
+```
+OPERATOR MESSAGE FORMAT:
+Opportunity Name: [e.g., "AI-Powered Manuscript Formatting for Indie Authors"]
+Problem: [Specific gap in the market]
+Solution: [How this business solves it]
+Target Customer: [Who benefits]
+Market Context: [Why now?]
+
+[Attach or paste the three research datasets]
+```
+
+Once received, I (Orion) will produce a complete, citation-rich business plan formatted for investor review, with all assumptions explicit and all benchmarks sourced or flagged as unverified.
+
+**Ready when you are.**
